Initially when opening origin it is using about 74 megs of ram.
After a day or so of it running it spools up to 800 megs. Surely this is not intended behavior?
When I close it and reopen it again sits around 800 megs until I kill the process through task manager.
Origin eating up almost a gig of ram

Origin problem, go to the Origin forums. You might get lucky enough and the devs for Origin may pay attention.
Yea, still, that's ****ed. I would jump to say to reinstall Origin.

I hate the fact that you need Origin running to play ME3. It's like EA *want* people to download the torrents rather than actually pay for the game.

Origin is not alone in this. Ever heard of Steam?

Yea but steam has those great deals such as ME2 for 9.99 or Shogun 2 for 7.50. And plus, Steam always seems to use alot less memory for me.

OP, that is NOT normal behavior.
And, people, people, people. *sigh* Origin is better than Steam.

Yes, but when you buy a physical copy of the game, you don't need to deal with Steam. I shouldn't have to deal with Origin either. The difference is that EA are using Origin as DRM.
Game publishers just don't get it. They get their panties in a twist about piracy, and then go nuts with DRM. But what they don't understand is that there's always going to be a software pirate out there who's smarter than they are. How long was it before ME3 and "From Ashes" appeared on torrent sites? 2-3 days or something?
It's ridiculous that paying customers have to put up with intrusive DRM that doesn't even work to begin with.

Eh by the way, Origin just had a huge 50% sale on their stuff that's already cheaper than Steam by default. Compared Bulletstorm which was like 14,99 in Origin when it was still 29,99 in Steam (€). Meh.

I don't know about you, but the three latest new releases of some games I bought (not counting ME3 of course) had to be activated via Steam, even if I bought a physical copy.
Those three were Skyrim, Warhammer 40k Space Marine and Warhammer 40k Dawn of War II Retribution (The same was with DoWII and the first expansion Chaos Rising).
Behavior not exclusive to Origin.
Also, Steam takes more RAM for me than Origin does. Only problem I have is with EAs servers bugging out from time to time, but Steams servers also do that.

Hmm for me Origin uses 92,200K RAM no matter what, and steam uses 8,600K (that if idling) just up to a max of 50,000K when steam window is open.
TBH unless it goes into the 100,000K+ zone it not worth bothering about IMO.
As for advice on how to fix this well close Origin now and again, since it seems to be related to run time, for more help visit the origin forums.

I got ME2 free and legally. I was a sucker --- I mean purchaser of DA2 at launch and Bioware gave all DA2 owners ME2 for free. So beat that Steam 9.99 price tag by 9.99.

Ive also had issues with Origin being a total memory hog 
Im not particularly short of it but its a huge pain. I hate origin. Even the steam beta wasnt THAT bad.

hmm currently I have both Origin and Steam open and my task manager up to see the diffrence and have ME3 open but minused down with Origin its at 24,968k memory in use and with Steam up and open its useing 156,269k memory.
So origin actually uses less memory for me than steam does and even with steam and any physical copy's I buy as soon as I click the shortcut for the game Steam pops up saying it's loading and then steam opens an then the game opens. Origin does the same thing!

Origin gives me major hiccups when I play ME3 on SP so I've had to turn it off during gameplay. I also find that it sometimes freezes in my taskbar, not allowing me to click it to open or close it. I've never had an issue with Steam, plus Steam lets me take screenshots! I can't tell you how many times I've F12'd in ME3 only to not get my photo click sound 
Not to mention that you can gift games in Steam and not in Origin.

Private working set for Origin is 65,976K vs Steam at 51,760K here. I've seen them get upwards of 90,000 though.

Start browsing store in Origin and Steam.
Both will go over 100 MB.
Try after that to minimize both (to task bar).
Steam will eat less then 20MB.
Origin will take more than 100MB.
Origin is not cleaning dirty pages, it just making more, more, more. It need to have restarting cycles every time. That's why I've always use "Exit" from Origin, when not playing O's games. But Steam always running in background as for example.
